I listened to a bit about this on the radio before I got up this morning. One care home group already put in place policies that they wouldn't hire staff who hadn't / wouldn't get vaccinated and won't take on new residents who won't accept a vaccination. They say that because they have a statutory duty to keep residents safe (I forget the exact terminology) that is sufficient to not fall foul of anti-discrimination clauses in employment law.
I completely understand where they were coming from, and where HMG is coming from. I'm just not comfortable with it. I know there is precedent with other vaccinations for some roles in the NHS but is covid truly an equivalent disease that warrants this level of mandated vaccination?Last edited by ladymuck; 24 March 2021, 13:08.

Have you never wondered what's in all those hand "sanitisers". They don't just sterilise your hands.
Time for this again:
I believe in getting immunity the old-fashioned way: By letting a bat virus take control of my lungs and turn my face into a disgusting plague fountain while my immune system desperately Googles 'how to make spike protein antibodies.

It'll probably come to that if they are ever able to aerosolize the vaccine, with little "air fresheners" installed outside tube stations and similar

How would these melts have coped in the days of smallpox and TB?
